The "Sharpe just did some crazy shit!" thread

He absolutely denied that shot. No Flash. No Fuss. All Class. Just kept playing.

That's his idol too. Great block!

 

[BankTeller]

Jabari is still impressing me. He always seems to have a positive impact.

He’s probably going to look a lot better player in lineups with better players too, à la Herb Jones.

 

[STOMP]

I remember Kobe being like that. Like, how he hit that and then throw up that brick so badly…?

Do you know the one stat that Kobe is the all time NBA king of?

Winning 5 titles in 10 years?

 

[42N8Bounce]

This block got me off the couch with a big old 'Oh Yeah!!'

I love it that Sharpe's not just focused on his offense. His defensive instincts are really good.

 

[STOMP]

Winning 5 titles in 10 years?

Nope! Many have done that and others fared far better, even some who weren't fawned over by the league every step of their journey. By King, I mean he stands on top alone.

Missed shots, I would assume.

yup. If we're going to dream and compare Shaedon to players of old, there are better players and people

Well, I'm at a loss then.

 

[BBert]

That is quite possibly the most casual ho-hum great block I've ever seen. Also he got kind of high.

Hoping this thread just keeps getting bumped for the next 15 years.

I hope so too and think it will.

I don't imagine this happening but I'm also keeping my hopes up that the posts in here don't turn at some point to the kinds of things posted when Isaiah JR Rider was doing crazy shit all of the time.

 

[SIeepwalker]

STOMP

Yeah, you're right. If Shaedon only becomes as good as Kobe, what a disappointment that would be !

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Rape and dying young?

Dammmmmnnnn bro?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I hope he just really quietly half mumbled, "Keep that weak shit out of my house." and then carried on with his expressionless face.

"Block man gets paid"

 

[mook]

Rape and dying young?

Shhhhh. The rape (and payoff) part of the Legacy of St. Kobe must never be mentioned.

He was a noble man dying doing what he loved most--flying unadvisedly in a helicopter over LA traffic.

 

[STOMP]

Yeah, you're right. If Shaedon only becomes as good as Kobe, what a disappointment that would be !

Personally Kobe was an entitled me-first scumbag and on the court the ultimate black hole. The all time NBA missed shot record truly encapsulates the who he was. Even with the draw of the LA market and his great talent, good players did not want to join him... we heard that regularly in the off seasons. I'd much rather Sharpe emulate a class act like Dame or dozens of others great talents then that insufferable A-hole.

Agree with much of this. However I would say Kobe was still a legit top 50 player of all time. That's a great accomplishment. Lillard isn't there yet IMO.

But Kobe wasn't a top10 player. He wasn't as good as many of his fans portray him. He certainly should never be in a GOAT Jordan discussion. Put Wade or even Billups or dozens of guys on a team with Gasol/Odom/Artest/Ariza/etc with Phil coaching they win at least two titles. Put about 100 players on a team with prime Shaq and that solid supporting cast they win 3 or more.

So there's at least dozens of players I'd list as a goal to emulate for Shaedon above Kobe. That's ignoring the off court issues, factoring that in its many hundreds if not thousands. So yeah, saying Shaedon is reminiscent or should try to follow Kobe is stupid.

 

[julius]

just because people think it'd be cool if his game emulated Kobe's doesn't mean they want his personality to emulate his, or that the stupid things that Kobe did are what Shaedon will do.

 

[inconceivable]

Someday people will say, "before Shaedon Sharpe, there was Michael Jordan"

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Who’s the GOAT
MJ or SS

It’s a bit early for that kind of talk but it’s sure fun to dream.

My most enduring memory of Kobe Bryant is Kobe with the ball, pesky Steve Blake crouched in legal defensive position, Kobe Bryant swings around and purposely elbows Steve Blake right in the throat. Ref calls foul on Steve Blake. Fuck Kobe Bryant, and the ref he rode in on too.

 

[BBert]

I don't think Shaedon's personality is anything like Kobe Bryant. Can we please stop comparing Shaedon to that asshole?

Shaedon’s athleticism and body type are very much like Kobe.

 

[STOMP]

I have no desire to see Shaedon emulate Kobe's me-first (and second and third) selfish iso game jacking up one ridiculous shot after another. I'd much rather see him move the ball early and play team ball like (for instance) Curry.

[blazerfan11]

His personality is very different.

 

[illmatic99]

His personality is very different.

kobe was very much an introvert in his early years. he was also maniacal about working, and we've heard good things about shaedon's work ethic and confidence.

 

[BankTeller]

His personality is very different.

I’ve heard many players say that unlike Jordan who was more outgoing with his teammates and liked going out, Kobe spent most of his days playing video games in his hotel room if he wasn’t at the gym. Maybe part of that was because he wasn’t even old enough to drink yet, I don’t know.

But that does sound like Shaedon right now.
